2009 BMW Z4 Video

Last week, we brought you a First Look at the redevelopment of BMW's entry-level sports car entry, the 2009 Z4 Roadster. Taut, sleek, and more mature than its predecessor in the styling department, the new car marks a departure from the old version and adds a folding aluminum hardtop to the mix - along with a weight gain of 200-300 lbs.

Of course standard power has increased to compensate. The new base-level engine is BMW's 3.0L, 225-hp, 220 lb-ft inline-six which, according to the Bavarian automaker, is capable of propelling the new Z4 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.6 sec. Add the optional 300-hp, twin-turbocharged 3.0L I-6 and that time drops to just 5.0 sec. flat.

So it would seem there's as much to be enjoyed about the 2009 BMW Z4 when it's in motion as there is when it's stationary. To that end, have a look at this video of the Z4 doing what it does best - tackling a twisty, scenic stretch of tarmac.
